The Nezha collaboration series is just the appetizer; the real show is yet to come, and the developers have prepared a bottle of champagne for the archers. (IV)

The 520 limited edition skins will likely be a boon for ordinary players or a treat for whales; it's hard to say for sure. Rumors suggest a Sanrio collaboration to take its place, with Sun Shangxiang single-handedly boosting sales. However, due to poor sales figures and extremely low playability, even with around ten skins already released, the game's current disadvantage is palpable to all players. You dare to sell it, but will consumers dare to buy it? It's worth mentioning that last year's 520 release was the game's first rare "Peerless" skin, Diao Chan's "Floral Dream," which demonstrated what a money-burning event truly is. All in-game effects were obtained through separate point-based draws, and collecting all the skins unlocked an exclusive title. Its price exceeded that of a Glory Crystal, with a guaranteed minimum of 8000 points, which might only get you the skin itself. So, be prepared.

The undeniable fact is that her skin is exquisitely crafted, cleverly utilizing displacement mechanics to create dual-form characteristics. As one of the Four Beauties, her looks are still top-notch, and people are still willing to spend money on her. Suppose they decide to bring in a second member this year, out of curiosity, I wonder how they will be designed. Will they continue to give her a mage? Or will they switch to a male hero?

Chapter of Glory

The animated series is a hit, with Li Bai and Kai's "Chapter of Glory" receiving much praise. After the finale, exclusive in-game skins will be released. During last year's 10th-anniversary livestream, the planners previewed the upcoming 2026 series, which will be named "Treasure Chapter." Two new main characters, Marco Polo and Luban No. 7, will be added. We've seen their successful collaboration in "Detective Conan," and this time the story will revolve around their treasure-hunting adventure. A significant investment has been made to redesign their characters, aiming for both high viewership and skin sales. Otherwise, the developers wouldn't have gone to such lengths. The awkward point is their poor performance in the peak ranking matches, with win rates both at 47.3%, second to last in the development lane. They're in the same boat. To sell skins, the heroes need to be buffed—that's the unavoidable principle.

The international version of the Attack on Titan collaboration will last for a whole month, featuring four characters: Eren for Zhang Fei, Mikasa for Kagami, and Levi for Allen. All characters will be available through a lottery, without exception, except for Annie, which is free for Ji Xiaoman. Putting aside the debate about the gorgeous special effects, the creativity deserves full marks, because I never thought that Zhang Fei's beast transformation could be changed into a Titan transformation.
